Stupid question. Do they only keep a history of chats happening inside the Gmail chat client? I only ever use Google Talk via Adium or Pidgin. If they're recording my conversations even when I'm not in the Gmail app and I can't turn this off, then I think I'm done with my Google account.
- fallse7en 13y agoYep, they keep a history of chats even when you're using Pidgin. This is pretty easy to confirm...
- antimatter 13y agoHow do you confirm other than looking for chat logs within Gmail? I don't have any chat logs as I had all conversation logging disabled before this update.
- ubernostrum 13y agoI am connected via Adium pretty much all the time, and talk to multiple people every day. Gmail shows me one "chat", from years ago, which consisted of me and a friend trying out the chat-from-within-gmail interface. Nothing else is in there.
